Would You Like to Raise a Little Dragon, Too?

[Japanese light novel style, Western fantasy game setting. Please don’t repost.][Recommended upcoming work: Becoming Childhood Friends with the World-Destroying Demon Dragon] Little Winnie was born into a powerful black dragon family. He was the eldest, but timid and lacking in magical talent, so his whole family ignored him. His parents, uncles, and aunts all preferred his powerful younger brother, Anbu. When disaster magic struck, Winnie thought his mother would cry, so he shielded Anbu. His horns shattered, his wings crumbled, and agony washed over him. When he woke again, the family who had once ignored him were all looking guilty and treating him like a treasure. But later, a divine revelation came from the heavens, naming his younger brother a candidate for Dragon King. The dragons rejoiced, all saying Anbu had survived the disaster magic thanks to the Dragon God’s protection. No one remembered little Winnie, already broken and battered. Only then did Winnie learn that he was a dragon egg his parents had found and taken in. His parents told him to be humble and cautious, and promised to protect him for the rest of his broken life. So he really didn’t have a mom and dad… Before Winnie could even cry, he heard a strange voice: “Compatible world found. Trial-run projection of the beta storyline for the game Dragon God Continent complete. Applying storyline update. Server connecting. Game opening soon, ” Little Winnie opened his eyes again, back on the day his younger brother faced the disaster magic. Strange information appeared before him. Match? Test? Forum? Trial run? Winnie ignored it all, packed his little bundle, and left home. * Winnie was a tiny, pitch-black dragonling. Tired from walking, he settled near a small village and found a human who was just as battered and ragged as he used to be. In the morning, he blocked a stream to splash the human and bully him, then caught a few fish. In the afternoon, he flew over the human village and went “roar, roar,” demanding fruit. At night, he “enslaved” the human he’d picked up to make him a delicious dinner. After eating his fill, he went to bed early. A dragon’s life was wonderful. He’d reluctantly protect these weak humans who paid tribute so nicely. Until unfamiliar Descenders suddenly appeared in this world, claiming they’d come to protect the village by slaying the dragon. There were too many of these heroes, and they were so annoying. Someone had even dug up a replica of a divine artifact from who knew where. Winnie was badly hurt, so the little dragon learned his lesson and prepared to leave with his little human. But the human stroked his head and kissed his horns. “Who did this?” The players happily rushed back to the village to turn in their quest, only to find that the formerly friendly starter village had changed completely. “What?” “Who did you drive off?” “You… hurt the dragon our village raised?” Players: … #I beat up a dragon and got put on the whole server’s wanted list.

Don’t tell me it’s kissing, cuddling, and biting me or anything like that.” Anseis rests his head in Mi Er’s hand.

Synopsis: Ji Guang was born into the blue dragon clan, which rules over the waters, but he was a tiny dragon with snow-white scales. His unusual color and frail body made the other young dragons reject him. Since his magic was prone to spiraling out of control, the other young dragons always cast him as the villain who bullied them. His parents and older brother never believed him and never liked him either. The little dragon grew up all alone and left home one ordinary day. Ji Guang wandered into the human world. The towering skyscrapers and countless magical technologies left the hungry country bumpkin dragon astounded. But he was about to starve to death. The dragonling had survived by nibbling wildflowers, wild fruit, and discarded construction materials along the way. He searched all over the human world but couldn’t find anything suitable to eat. The dragon felt wronged: “They… They keep everything way too clean!” At last, the little dragon found a fertile plot of land surrounded by a fence. Carefully transforming into his true form, he squeezed in through the entrance and ate food that had fallen from the College of Magical Technology and First Agriculture Department. Tomatoes? Tasty. Potatoes? Tasty! Sugarcane? Incredibly, unbelievably tasty! * Pu Yun recently noticed something strange about his experimental field. The crops that fell to the ground were always picked clean. Even the “silver ring” sugarcane next door, which the stubborn owner insisted on saving for seeds, had been thoroughly chewed up. “Are you a glutton or something? How can your teeth be that strong?!” The surveillance footage only showed a fast-moving white shadow. A cat? A fox? A magical beast? He rubbed his chin and tried leaving food out. Fruit: liked it, especially sugarcane. Vegetables: so-so, especially disliked chewing leaves. Other irritating foods: hold off on trying for now. Before long, more and more members of the group were trying to feed this mysterious creature. They were tired of sucking up to the Chosen One. After their past setbacks, they’d also lost their desire to compete. All they wanted was to work on their own research in a remote corner of the College of Magical Technology and First. They had recently found a new hobby. Then one day, Pu Yun walked into the group meeting with a strange expression, carrying a snow-white little dragon who was sticking out his tongue. “Who smuggled in the houttuynia cordata to feed him?!” You’ve poisoned a person… no, a dragon to death!! Theme: Break free from the cycle of despair and become a better version of yourself
